Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Survival rates of grafted watermelon plants varied from 83% to 100% in greenhouse conditions.
- Observation Survival rates were similar for commercial and local rootstocks.
- Intervention effect Plants grafted onto 20-02, 31-09 and 31-43 were more vigorous than ungrafted control plants.
- Intervention effect Plants grafted onto 35-01 and 46-03 were more vigorous than ungrafted control plants.
- Intervention effect Grafted plants had 37% to 80% higher plant dry weight than control plants.
- Intervention effect Grafting onto six local rootstocks gave significantly greater total yields than commercial rootstocks.
- Observation Landrace genotypes 01-16, 07-45 and 20-06 were promising for total yield.
- Observation Landrace genotypes 31-09, 31-15 and 46-03 were promising for total yield.
- Association Early yield was not significantly affected by rootstock.
- Association Fruit quality parameters were similar in grafted and control plants, except for a few graft combinations.
- Observation Turkish bottle gourd germplasm has high rootstock potential for watermelon.
